I don’t believe you

Another folky fingerpicked number…. apart from the mad harpsichord…. and the charanga… and the final stirring strings section…

Join the throng of life’s marathon
Right or wrong, I don’t believe you
You debate when you talk of fate
Love or hate, I don’t believe you

Can’t you see what your words have done to me
Acting so free now that I need you
Take a bow, take it all right here and now
But don’t act so proud now that I need you

But then I know you’ll go again

Facing round the fools cap or the clowns
Up or down, I don’t believe you
Seeing red, the meaning in your head
Alive or dead, I don’t believe you
